My assumption was that there's value in awareness in this venue, and 
that any competent shepherd will require positive indications of review 
from the relevant technical community, and this is it. Apologies if 
people feel differently, though; despite appearances to the contrary, 
I'm not simply on a mission to drown everybody in mail.

Following discussion here and off-list with various people, it seems 
clear to me that the best path forward for this document is the 
independent submission stream. This worked well for 7108 which is 
similar to this document in various respects.

So to clear up the lingering ambiguity, the authors are not requesting 
adoption of this document by the working group; we'll pick it up with 
the ISE. I will be bothering those who have demonstrated an opinion in 
due course for reviews for Nevil.
